Description from the owner

Fairview is surrounded by spectacular, panoramic mountain scenery and over 150 acres of rural farmland.

Listed on the National Historic Registry, Fairview is well known in the area as an historic landmark. Fairview's distinctive tower is a key signature of the Italianate style. The rich, unique architecture, is one of the most prominent examples of the Italianate style in the state. Noted architectural features include gothic arched windows, an ocular window, and intricate brick details throughout the exterior.

Fairview is a classic, country home offering 5 luxury guest rooms, 4 private baths with high-end linens and furnishings. The interior is quite elegant and filled with European antiques, yet still maintains a comfortable atmosphere for guests to enjoy. The broad veranda in the back of the house faces a bold Blue Ridge mountain range, and is a favorite relaxing venue for guests.
Located in Piney River, VA, a small rural town in Amherst County, Virginia, Fairview was built shortly after the Civil War in 1867 by a wealthy doctor who valued the area for its breathtaking mountain views.
Guests may enjoy feeding and interacting with the white Arabian horses, and a one-of-a-kind outdoor aviary featuring an array of colorful peacocks.
A recently fully furnished Guest Cottage is also available to larger parties, in conjunction with a Main House reservation. is quite elegant and filled with European antiques, yet still maintains a comfortable atmosphere for guests to enjoy.

"Romantic getaway and spiritual retreat"

Left on 03/04/2012 for a stay in March 2012 | JillReviewed Mar 4, 2012Stayed Mar 2012

This was better than I could have expected. We met neat couples/singles in all different stages of life. A married couple with many kids vacationing without children, foreign aupairs from another country, a couple newly pregnant and another couple close to tieing the knot and us...A couple married for 22 years raising two teenagers and at what could be a possible crossroads. We started Friday with a visit around the beautiful house and farmland to include seeing mountains, peacocks, Arabian horses and then an evening with fundue with the two younger couples. It was delicious and my husband and I ate and
visited until time to sleep. We both slept like we have not slept in years with the most comfortable bed and post hot tub experience. We were well rested to
begin our huge once again amazing feast which we follow upped with a hike up crabtree falls. Jennifer made us an amazing picnic basket with a bottle of wine that we had on a beautiful lake. we then returned to have massages in a quaint spa shed and naps. After resting we went to Devil's Backbone for dinner and band. The mountains and houses along the way are an adventure in themselves and then there is great people watching in the resteraunt with all the wintergreen skiers. We returned to talk and then read our books by the fire. We once again returned to bed early and awoke to another huge wonderful breakfast with talks of each person's adventure. Jennifer is a healer. She makes suggestions and provides food based on what she thinks your needs and desires are with the information you give her. This is much more than just your average Vacation; it is a romantic getaway and or a spiritual retreat. We both left feeling well rested and emotionally and spiritually recharged. I wish the same for you. We will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful property and very peaceful.. There is nothing around for severasl miles and there is plenty of space atthe house.
It feels as if you are in Italy at a farmhouse.
We are planning to return there again this year.
